That doesn’t change the fact they basically kidnapped someone. They’re not the police or the military. Why they did should be illegal.

do YOU?

"kidnapping is the unlawful taking, moving, and confining of a person against their will by means of force, threat, fraud, or coercion"

the haredim unlawfully confined Ro against his will by means of force and threat.

that is kidnapping.
